I received this e-mail from them yesterday:

Dear Sir,
 
In answer to your e-mail, we inform you that we are in contact with the competent administrations (Foreign Office for exportations) to organise expeditions to foreign countries. We are still not able to give you precisal indications on time it will take to have definitive answers by an administrative point of view: in some country our Soft-Air Fragmentation Grenates can be considerated as real explosive because the fragmentation is driven on by the explosion of a fire cracker "Pirato".
However, we are trying to have answers as fast as possible. On the other hand, if you are able to obtein these informations faster than the italian administrations, please do not hesitate to get in touch and we will send you a complete technical documentation on our Soft-Air Fragmentation Grenates.

Thank you for your interest on our products,

 

Best regards.

...and I got this from them today:

Dear Sirs,

We should be pleased to supply you with our grenades but we regret having to inform you we are unable to satisfy your request as no courier is willing to transport fire crackers, which are needed to trigger our grenades.

We are therefore enclosing the fire cracker technical details, so that you may have the opportunity to find it in your country.
 
TECHNICAL DETAILS -  pyrotechnic toy named PIRATOC
It is made up of a cartboard cilinder whose external diameter is mm 8.5, its internal diameter is mm 6 and its lenght is mm 73. This cilinder is closed by a cartboard cork (explosion mm 60 from the top), and opposite to the cork there is the start-up friction button. It has a not less than four seconds delayed explosion.
In it there are the following pyrotechnic mixtures :
1) gr. 0.5 di explosion mixture made of:
- Barium nitrate
- Aluminium powder
2) gr. 0. 4 delaying explosion mixture:
- Barium nitrate  
- Sulfur (free from acids)
- Wood coal
- Shellac
- Granulated mixture made of:

3) gr. 0.1 friction ignition mixture made of:

Sweetness that they're willing to ship the grenades, but dissapointing they can't anyone to ship the firecrackers.  I guess now we have to find a local pyrotechnics place.  Maybe we shoudl talk to the guys at enolagaye.com... I think they have a courier to ship all their pyrotechnics stuff.

I know the exact firecracker they need. I used to play with them all the time when I lived in south america. Petardos. You can get them in mexico very easily around new years and mexican independence day, and off and on in mexico every other day of the year. If nothing else, or no sooner, im going in july back to brazil and bolivia for a week or two and could try to pick up a couple bags of them if you really wanna order the grenades. Not definate that I'd be able to find them, but I am going, might as well try to find some, assuming its impossible to find some state side. Then again, its not impossible to make them either. Simplified - its an m80 + strike anywhere matchheads glued ontop a centemeter long fuse.

Many a time in-game have I wished for something like this.

It's packed with BB's...
